Java logger that automatically determines caller's class name

Question

public static Logger getLogger() {
    final Throwable t = new Throwable();
    final StackTraceElement methodCaller = t.getStackTrace()[1];
    final Logger logger          


        

Answer 1

This mechanism puts in a lot of extra effort at runtime.

If you use Eclipse as your IDE, consider using Log4e. This handy plugin will generate logger declarations for you using your favourite logging framework. A fraction more effort at coding time, but much less work at runtime.
